Cynic

Lucky crits from the regen could kill the SR. I guess the same would go the other way if they had an equall primary, but I cant see Katana doing the burst damage required to down a ragen..... but that's just me, am a documented katana hater

The better player

I should be there, might even get my troller there too, but Schro will be debuffing as per usual

I could have sworn I'd posted Grats on this thread, but its not there, so um grats

Everyone can remember where they were when Brutegate happened. Like the Kenedy Assisination but with more interest to the online community

Well unless taking the last power actually lowers my damage I feel like a damage machine and cant imagine how stupid it would have been before the change (I was level 40 when I8 happened)

You stole my grats thread I posted this at the same time, DAMN YOU.

*cough*

Yeah so um, grats again

Grats to Sigh (Psygon) and Boston Firewall (Gonk) on dinging 50. Firewall on taking down Battle Maiden and Sigh on nuking.

Now, whats next?

Uhuh

I hope they warmed the probes first

So no one's going to give me a reason to hold out hope on mercs then?

I have actually seen a very good Merc/FF MM, but I've never seen helpful advice on mercs. People say stick it out, but no one says why, Sin has actually explained on a long thread why he doesn't like them and at the moment I am not finding my experience any different to his. People can say dont be down on them, but its not that their underpowered that bugs me, its that their AI is infuriating. Anyone going to offer me some hope that will improve as I level?

Choking Cloud causes its own end issues, even 3 slotted with end reds its fairly heavy, and AM not being perma means that for a period of time you're low. As cloud isn't in your build you might be alright. Electron Haze is a bit hungry though seemed to get worse at higher levels but I guess I just used it more

Anyone not able to make this week? Just doing my weekly check

Nicely done

I dont know "Do you need a Rad?" seem to work fairly well in the later game these days

Grats on the 50

Am currently trying both ninja's and mercs, and finding the AI of both driving me nuts compared to Necro.

Ninjas want to be both melee and ranged and run around like idiots, mercs put their guns away during fights to draw them again and I spend a lot of time shouting at the screen.

Mercs seem alright damage at low levels, though the first upgrade is pants compared to most others. Ninjas get a nice upgrade on the other hand and the Oni does rock (from what I'vve seen he's as good as the lich and you cant ask for more than that) The T3 on Mercs seems to be a complete fool, but he's a complete fool with a big gun so I guess he might still be usefull.

All in all am glad I have my necro cause I cant find much joy with mercs or ninjas.

/fire also keeps itself in end with consume, I didn't realise how end easy /fire was until I played it

SR scrappers have a weakness to psi damage eh? There some strange autohit psi damage I dont know about?

One of SR's big strengths is that its defence being possitional they dont have a weakness to any kind of damage (except Hami, Titan and broken Dominate)

The only possible weakness SR would have to psi is that its -rcgh so PB might take a while to come back, but as it's so easily perma most of us have it stacked anyway.

Dont tell everyone my plan

Have found stone fists allows me to build and maintain fury, and the draw time on the mallets isn't too bad.

Other thing is I have two big AoE damage herding brutes. This is my attempt at ST damage and crafty without being a one trick wonder (stalker)

Next week should be my last week without broadband at home

It's also going to be a BAD day at work

Mine's only level 10 (stone/ea) but am loving it. The mallets rule, FACT!

Hopefully I'll be able to resolve my own end issues with EA, but if not a tgray of blues isn't a big cross to bear

I guess it would depend on the armour set, just started taking the end reds out of my FA brutes Elec attacks. Cause stamina and consume are pleanty, before that I needed an end red in each

If I was /DA I wouldn't dream of removing the things

Mines perma, but then I do have hasten.
